The Streets rapper Mike Skinner to tour debut feature film across UK with Birmingham show included

Birmingham rapper Mike Skinner is set to release his debut feature film and embark on a UK tour this autumn.

Skinner, best known for his musical project The Streets, will tour his debut feature exclusively at Everyman venues across the UK in September and October.

The film, called The Darker The Shadow, The Brighter The Light, has been entirely crafted by Skinner. The musician, who grew up in West Heath, wrote, directed, filmed, edited and scored the film.

What’s the film about?

The film follows the seemingly mundane life of a DJ on a journey through authentically depicted nightclub scenes to create a tripped-out modern-day murder mystery all its own.

The Streets, Skinner’s musical project, has also announced its first full-length album since 2011, which bears the same name as the film and is intrinsic to its development by providing the soundtrack to the story.

Will there be a Birmingham screening?

Yes. Starting and ending in London and circling through UK cities such as Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, and Brum, Mike Skinner’s exclusive Q&A tour commences on Tuesday 19 September 2023 at Everyman Plymouth. The film will be screened at Everyman Birmingham on Thursday, October 5.

How to get tickets

Tickets for the full tour are now available to purchase online at via The Streets website where you’ll also be able to pre-order The Darker The Shadow, The Brighter The Light album by The Streets.
